Ingredients
  

1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced against the grain

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or your preferred rice)

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup beef broth or water

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a medium bowl, combine the thinly sliced beef sirloin with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 10-15 minutes at room temperature; this enhances both the flavor and tenderness of the beef.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beef broth (or water), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This sauce will add rich flavor to your dish, so set it aside until needed.

      Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the broccoli florets. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until the broccoli turns bright green and is tender-crisp. Once done, remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

        Stir-Fry the Beef: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat it until hot, then add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 30 seconds until these aromatics become fragrant. Next, add the marinated beef to the skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the beef is browned and cooked through to a safe internal temperature.

          Combine Everything: Return the previously cooked broccoli to the skillet, incorporating it back with the beef. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and broccoli mixture, stirring everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the beef and broccoli evenly.

            Serve: To serve your delectable stir-fry, spoon it generously over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. For an added touch of flavor and presentation, sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top.

              Enjoy your quick and savory beef and broccoli stir-fry, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!
